Hey guys, found this on the net today, basically 19 minutes of In Car footage of the R32 Calsonic Skyline GTR at Fuji Speedway in the wet!

It's pretty good to see how he crushes the field from the back of the grid in the rolling start.

Anyways, enjoy!

GTR PRON

yeah I was pretty wrapped to find it, i've seen the ol JGTC videos before but never a full 18 minutes of GTR in car with no commentary or some video that some douche has dubbed over with a crappy remix of some crappy track. I'll try and find some more.

They used old school (well duh) crash boxes.

Using an older shift pattern widely used in old porkas, something about first not being needed often on circuits so it was put somewhere out of the way.

Reverse is where we have first

first is where we have second

second is our third

third is our fourth

fourth is our fifth

fifth is below our fifth or where a getrag has sixth

they had different ratio boxes/diffs for different tracks, you can see an example of this in the video of tsuchia driving his old Taisan gtr at tsukuba after NISMO omori restored it. It's a good video, his comments are worth listening to aswel he says how good the car feels, how responsive and sharp and then he goes on to do something like a 60 second lap pretty much straightaway. From memory that taisan gtr has the setup from Fuji in it still.

If anyone has more vids like the one linked in the first post please put them up :P

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

Yeah 94 had an awesome field!!!

Definatly a different vid mate, there's a line where he is about to get in it and turns to the Nismo mechanic who just restored the car "can i go full throttle in this car?" without even taking a breath the mechanic replies "yes." with this smile he's trying to hide from the superstar driver. Then they start the car and he drives off, such an awesome video.

I cant believe a team actually thought the lambo would be a decent race car hahaha

Here's some pics ive taken of that era cars while in Japan;

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

It definatly sounds like straight cut gears in at least first and second :(

There's a C110 above for a bit of inspiration :D SO pissed i dont have room for one here

It makes you wonder where are they all now?

Of course the NISMO cars are all in nismos hands but what about the others?!

I was told a funny story in 2006, a person I know was making frequent trips to japan to buy parts, import them and then sell here, while doing the rounds at a workshop they asked politely if they could see what second hand parts the place had. After looking through and picking up all the good bits they opened a small door at the back of the room being used to stash parts which was partly hidden by all the stuff in the room. Went outside and up some stairs, there was an r32 group a gtr under a makeshift carport at the end of the ramp to the roof they havnt used in literally years. Completely filthy but complete as raced last. Went inside and asked the owner how much to sell it. He had forgotten he owned it! And no, wouldn't sell!

yeah there would be quite a few of thise little surprises over there. I always wanted to know what happened to the 4 of these that were built:

MAZDA FAMILIA SPORT 4 1989 JAPANESE RALLY PRON

80d1093786390-mazda-familia-sport-4-sport4.jpg

75d1093785591-mazda-familia-sport-4-1005_2.jpg

You would think that at least one would be in the Mazda Museum (although i've never been there to confirm this) or would at least be in the hands of mazda in the back of some factory somewhere gathering dust. But what of the others? There was 2 black, 1 silver and one red one built, only reason I know this is because i've seen a pic of all 4 of them together somewhere before. Bugger all info on the net about them.

Anyway, I suppose I should be posting on topic in my own thread lol, but if anyone has other pics of this put em up as it was pretty hard core!

  • 3 weeks later...

OK so I found another sweet video.

This one is the late great Ayrton Senna belting the crap out of the brand new (at the time) Honda NSX-R. Check out his mid corner pedal work! I've never seen anyone do that before maybe someone here can answer the reasoning for doing it?

Anyway, here's the video

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
